That fill his neighbours round with dread,
His heart is arm'd against the fear,
For God with all his power is there.

Draws heavenly courage from his word;
Amidst the darkness light shall rise,
To cheer his heart and bless his eyes.

His works are still before his God;
His name on earth shall long remain,
While envious sinners rage in vain. Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English

O God, thy judgments give the King
Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #230 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Poor Lyrics: 1 O God, thy judgments give the King,
His Son thy righteousness;
With right he shall thy people judge,
Thy poor with uprightness.
And then the mountains shall bring forth
To all the people peace;
The hills because of righteousness
Their blessing shall increase.
2 The people's poor ones he shall judge,
The needy's children bless;
And he will break in pieces those
Who would the poor oppress.
The just shall flourish in his days,
And prosper in his reign;
And while the moon endures he shall
Abundant peace maintain.
3 His large and great dominion shall
From sea to sea extend;
It from the River shall reach forth
To earth's remotest end.
Yea, kings shall all before him bow,
All nations shall obey;
He'll save the needy when he cries,
The poor who hath no stay.
4 Now blessed be the Lord our God,
The God of Israel,
For he alone doth wondrous works
In glory that excel.
And blessed be his glorious Name
To all eternity.
The whole earth let his glory fill;
Amen, so let it be.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 72 Tune Title: OSTEND

Ye have the poor always with you

What were His works, from day to day,
But miracles of pow'r and grace,
That spread salvation thro' our race?
2 Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view
Thy pattern, and thy steps pursue;
Let alms bestowed, let kindness done,
Be witness'd by each rolling sun.
3 That man may last, but never lives,
Who much receives but nothing gives,
Whom none can love, whom none can thank;
Creation's blot, creation's blank.
4 But he, who marks from day to day
In generous acts his radiant way,
Treads the same path his Savior trod,
The path to glory and to God. Scripture: Acts 10:38 Languages: English

Have scatter'd here below,
In the fair fertile fields above
To ample harvests grow.

At Jesus' feet I lay;

And grace at large repay. Scripture: Luke 12:33 Languages: English

Complaint Against the Wicked
Hymnal: The Psalter #18 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Poor Remembered by God First Line: Why standest Thou afar, O Lord Lyrics: 1 Why standest Thou afar, O Lord,
Why art Thou hid in trouble's hour?
The wicked persecute the poor
In haughty pride and reckless pow'r.
2 Let their devices work their fall,
For in their shame is all their pride;
And while they seek unrighteous gain
The Lord of justice is defied.
3 The wicked thinks, in foolish pride,
There is no God Who will repay;
He has no fear of God or man
Because God's judgments long delay.
4 Unmoved by fear of coming doom,
On fraud and wickedness intent,
With craft he lurks and waits to catch
The helpless and the innocent.
5 A lion crouching for his prey,
He waits the poor to overthrow;
He thinks that God remembers not,
Or hides His face and will not know.
6 Arise, O Lord, lift up Thy hand,
O God, protect the poor and meek;
Why should the proud Thy justice doubt,
And words of bold defiance speak?
7 O Lord, Thou wilt indeed requite,
The sin and sorrow Thou dost see;
The helpless and the fatherless
Commit themselves, O Lord, to Thee.
8 Break Thou the pow'r of wicked men
And let their works no longer stand;
The Lord is King for evermore,
Who drove the nations from His land.
9 Lord, Thou hast heard the lowly prayer,
The fainting heart Thou wilt restore,
The helpless cause Thou wilt maintain,
That mortal man may boast no more. Scripture: Psalm 10 Languages: English Tune Title: BRIGGS
